aparrently when ford commisioned rally sport (RS) to build a new focus rs there main concern was it was ''green'' meaning to make it economical so when the time came to unveil the car they pulled back the curtain and said heres your green car

i found it kind of funny sado i know lol:oops:

escort si, is that true? I thought it was because of the old RS had a similar colour?

Its got a super special diff... tbh i can;t get 220bhp down in my mk1 RS let alone the 300 in the new one.

I ordered one of these in Dec 07 and have been waiting a year to order one of the first. I cancelled my order a couple of weeks ago due to the fact that 25k standard and then extras ontop pushing it to 28k for a good spec and then insurance being quite a bit the maths didn't add up with the current economic down turn... If i lost my job i'd lose the car and there's no way im giving any of my cars back... so cancelled.

I shall get one in 2 years time though when things pick up again... they are going to be amazing machines in the summer!!!
